Scrapbooking - Improved Travel Book

Hello!!

Here I am with a new scrapbooking tutorial. In this case I've made some improvements on my travel books, giving more space for the flaps to close better and adding two interesting pockets... summarizing: make it more usable for a real traveler.

I've made two version using Stamperia papers. One with Alchemy collection, that is absolutely gorgeous and mysterious, and another with new Wonderland papers, that reminds me to Venice with that vintage and romantic style.

On the right side there is a big pocket with magnetic closure to keep a 4 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches notebook, which I've covered with collection papers. Every good traveler needs a notebook to write thoughts, memories and all the ideas that comes to her mind when traveling.

The central part is occupied by a nine pieces waterfall, with space for 19 photos (or 10 if you want to write on the back side). It also has a magnetic closure so keep the waterfall on place. These places will be empty while traveling, but for sure there will be some few photos that will bring great memories every time we see them.

On the left side there is a flap with one large vertical pocket on one side, and a large horizontal pocket on the other. These pockets (that close with magnets) are perfect to keep inside all those things that are really important during a trip, such as flying tickets, hotel reservations, the list of places we want to visit... When opening that flap, there are four more pockets, ideal for little maps, museum tickets or travel cards.. etc.

One of the things I like the most from Stamperia papers is that the collections always have two or three sheets with postcards, tags and small cuttable pieces that are perfect for embellishing your projects. This makes possible to add a lot of small details to the travel book, such as tags for your bags, bookmarks for the travel guide and anything that comes to your mind.

These mini books are so beautiful. I adore the papers you selected for each one. And each is so unique, even though they use the same design elements. Love these mini albums. Thanks for joining the challenge at Mini Album Makers.

Oh my gosh this is so awesome! I really enjoyed your video tutorial. These papers are so beautiful and each one of your books is a treasure! We're so happy you played along with us at Mini Album Makers this month. Big hugs, Autumn
